Maximizing Supermarket Profits: Data-Driven Strategies for Pricing, Sales, and Forecasting

The actual circumstances of daily life are crucial for the purchasing and pricing strategies of supermarkets. Developing strategies based on these circumstances can assist businesses in ensuring profits and fostering win-win cooperation. This paper explores methods to maximize profit through purchasing and sales strategies. Initially, the relevant data for various categories of vegetables is integrated. Through histograms, their sales patterns are directly understood, highlighting the most popular vegetables. Upon analyzing each vegetable category, it becomes evident that their sales data do not conform to normal distributions. Therefore, Spearman correlation coefficients are calculated, revealing strong correlations between certain categories, such as aquatic roots and edible fungi. A line chart depicting the top ten selling vegetables indicates a noticeable periodicity. Traditional fitting methods struggle to adequately model the sales of each vegetable category and their relationship with cost-plus pricing. To address this, additional factors such as holidays, weeks, and months are incorporated using techniques like random forest regression. This approach yields cost-plus pricing dependence curves that better capture the relationship, while effectively managing noise. Regarding sales volume prediction, the original data displays significant volatility, necessitating the handling of outliers using the threshold method. For missing data, linear interpolation is employed to mitigate the impact of continuous missing values on prediction accuracy. Subsequently, Adam-optimized long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are utilized to forecast incoming quantities for the next seven days. By extrapolating from normal sales volume, market capacity is estimated, allowing for additional sales through discount strategies. This framework has the potential to increase original income by 1.1 times.

Tailored Informational Interventions for Reducing Surplus and Waste of Fruits and Vegetables in a Food Market: A Pilot Study.

This pilot study explored the effectiveness of tailored informational interventions to reduce the surplus and waste of fruits and vegetables at the distribution level in Chile. Stalls from a fresh food market were randomized to intervention (n = 5 selling fruits, n = 5 selling vegetables) or control (n = 4 selling fruits, n = 4 selling vegetables) groups. The causes of surplus and waste were estimated by questionnaires. Surplus, avoidable waste, and unavoidable waste were measured using direct quantification before and after the intervention, and were expressed relative to the initial stock. Before the intervention, the surplus was (median [25th-75th percentile]) 46.2% [33.3-51.2] for fruits and 51.5% [41.3-55.0] for vegetables; avoidable waste was 0.1% [0.0-0.8] for fruits and 1.8% [0.7-5.3] for vegetables; and unavoidable waste was 0.0% [0.0-1.0] for fruits and 0.0% [0.0-1.3] for vegetables. Planning and storage represented the main causes explaining surplus and waste. After the intervention, the intervention group decreased the surplus of fruits compared to the control group (-17.8% [-29.0--11.0] vs. 5.8% [-0.6-7.8], respectively; p = 0.016), without other differences. In conclusion, tailored informational interventions based on the causes of surplus and waste may reduce the surplus of fruits in a fresh food market. Interventions might also include management strategies for the surplus to improve grocers' business operations.

Madan Sara dir. by Etant Dupain

Reviewed by: Madan Sara dir. by Etant Dupain Ella Turenne Madan Sara. Documentary film directed by Etant Dupain. Konbit Productions, 2020. 50 minutes. As the music of rasin group RAM opens the film with rhythmic drums and a chorus of voices singing, we are brought into the world of madan sara. Alongside the opening credits is a breathtaking visual compilation of women in the Haitian marketplace. Here, as masters of their domain, they represent the potomitan of the nation's economy. The documentary Madan Sara is a portrait of resilience and an act of resistance. Resilience in the face of neoliberalism and climate change. Resilience in the face of violence and a failing government. The director, Etant Dupain, takes care to present a holistic picture of the women who labor as madan sara day in and day out in Haiti. The everyday is made up of constant acts of resistance countering the negative stereotypes about the country. Dupain intentionally centers Black women's voices by elevating the narratives of two individual women as his key interlocutors: Clotilde Achille and Monique Metellus. They serve as storytellers, griots, and political analysts, illuminating an array of issues facing the nation. Dupain's cinematic approach is worth noting. Interviews with Achille and Metellus are woven alongside perspectives from a few experts, scenes from the markets, and other Haitian voices. Achille's and Metellus's personal narratives and insights depict what it is to be madan sara, and to live in Haiti, facing the challenges and triumphs imposed by both contexts. In this film, challenges and triumphs are equally important, especially in building a narrative that stands in opposition to the many negative representations of Haiti and its people. Dupain opens the film with a reading by Edwidge Danticat, who also appears several times throughout the documentary. She recites a quotation from her first book, Breath, Eyes, Memory, in Kreyòl: There is a place where women live near trees that, blowing in the wind, sound like music. . . . These women, they are fluttering lanterns on the hills, the fireflies in the night. . . . There is always a place where women like cardinal birds return to look at their own faces in stagnant bodies of water. . . . Where women return to their children as butterflies. . . . My mother was as brave as stars at dawn.1 Her soothing voice foregrounds the film's feminist perspective. Danticat's initial questions set the tone: "You start to wonder: Do we even see these [End Page 161] people? Did they become visible to us?" The entire film is a response. While the work of madan sara is commonplace in Haiti and they are a critical element of the nation's economy, their situation is tenuous at best. Caroline Shenaz Hossein describes madan sara as "intermediaries who buy and collect goods, usually foodstuff, from farmers, and then sell the merchandise to détaillants (wholesalers) or ti machann (market vendors) or to large supermarkets."2 She describes how working in the marketplace is a viable way to make a living and support their families. Most madan sara learn the profession from their mothers, grandmothers, or other elders in the community. Such generational transference is confirmed by Achille, who summarizes her life story early in the film, sharing with the audience that she learned the profession at a young age after her parents tried to send her to school. Once she left school, she began selling vegetables in the market. She proudly states that she has supported five children just from being a madan sara. She then chronicles her day (which begins at 3 a.m. and continues into the night). The film reveals the intricate network of arteries that are trading, bartering, acquisition, and vending, a network that is required to maintain such a self-sustaining ecosystem. When one stands back and multiplies these actions by thousands of madan sara, it is clear why these women are the backbone of the economy. Camille Chalmers, an economist featured in the film, does an excellent job of historicizing their work: placing the evolution of madan sara temporally within a colonial context, Chalmers describes how an abundance of crop production by enslaved Africans led to capitalist impulses...

National strategy on gender that stated in Presidential Instruction No. 9/2009, was also applied in private forest management. The composition of private forests which generally consist of woody plants, agricultural crops, and lower crops, allows for the sharing of gender roles in their management, as found in South Konawe. Research methods used survey method and interviews through Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study indicate that there is a share-out of roles between men and women in private forest management in South Konawe. Men play a dominant role in the management of woody plants, starting from planting to logging while women are dominantly involved in the lower crop cultivation. Women’s involvement have greatly helped the family economy through selling vegetables and sago for family consumption as well as to meet daily needs. Supporting activities in private forest management such as attending farmer group meetings and being administrators of farmer groups are still dominated by men. For this reason, it is necessary to consider the proportional involvement of women in private forest management so that they can contribute more to the family needs.
